January challenge

Welcome to our first challenge of 2024 and this year we are putting a slightly different spin on how some of the months challenges are presented. We will be having several themes in the form of mood boards to reflect the flowers and birthstones of months where DT's Birthdays fall, other months we will carry on with generic themes.

As a stamping challenge entries must have at least one stamped element on the front of entries to be eligible. We are always on the look out for stamping Guest Designers, those interested in being considered please add GD when entering.

Gerrina's Birthday is in January and here is a little about her stamping journey along with the mood board, you can take inspiration from any element or colour within it, or of course follow the AG option.

As a child I started photography and in 1998 began to put them in photo albums with paper, stencils and colours. When I was buying some DP’s I learned that what I did was scrapping. Bought some die-cuts, paper and two text-stamps and went to a Siirus open house  where I did a ‘make and take’ with heat embossing and that was it, I was hooked to stamping.

From Photo albums to cards, from cards to Art Journals and Mixed media, I like to do it all, but I like stamping techniques and stencils most, my favourite  colouring is with ink and aquarel paint. 

My style is sometimes CAS, sometimes grungy or a combination of stamping, scrapping and drawing…I’ve got so many ideas in my head! But the one thing I do every week is an Art Journal Page with how I feel that week or something that happened. I love to participate in challenges and get inspired by all the makes of other stampers. And I love it being in this Design Team because we ask you to get stamping. 

So get stamping and have fun!
